?Hi Doug Smith, I have Barentje Stratsmans and all of her children on my website at www.angelfire.com/ga4/myhayes_family/ Hans Coenraatse is a Barheit. Jacob Janse Gardenier is my 9th great grandfather. Hans Coenraatse is my 8th great grandfather. A considerable amount of information about familiesis found in Lorine McGinnis Schulze Van Slyke books. Richard Professor Jonathan Pearson in his "GENEALOGIES OF THE FIRST SETTLERS of the ANCIENT COUNTY OF ALBANY" tells us of Gardenier (alias Flodder), Jacob Janse, that "His immediate descendants very generally settled in that vicinity {Kinderhook}. His first w. was Josyna ...,who d. Feb., 1669; he afterwards m. Barentje Stratsmans, widow of Hans Coenraatse ; in 1688, she was again a widow with ten children by her first husband and five by her second, all living. The estates of the two fathers were then divided among these 15 children." Has anyone found the documentary evidence of this estate division? Who were these fifteen children of Barentje Stratsmans?

Hello everyone, If you have early 17th century ancestors in New Netherland <http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/nn/>(present day New York) you may be among the majority who are confused by the available ships passenger lists for that time period. Researchers need to understand that all "passenger lists" for travel from the Netherlands to New Netherland between 1654 and 1664 came from information on the debit side of the West India Company Account Book. This book showed who owed money when they arrived. The list of those who owed money on arrival in New Netherland has been published but this brings us to a caveat. Researchers must be very cautious about which version they are using. Many of the early versions are incorrect or missing names.

Richard, So, given that Hamannus Anthony Van Slyke and Anatje Haverly named their children following the naming rules, does it make sense to you that this Harmannus Van Slyke is the likely father of Neeltje Schermerhorn's Claara Van Skyke? I'll never know the circumstances of this Claara's birth, but I'd like to think that at least I have the correct father for her. Interestingly, Elizabeth and Evert Schermerhorn, Neeltje's sister and brother-in-law, the sponsors, also named a child Clarasa, b 1815. This is the form of the name Neeltje used in her New Testament. I wonder if they named her after Neeltje's baby? And if that's an indication that she was dead by then? I know people named children in their own family after those who'd already died, but I don't know about naming after other children in the same generation who'd died. The Clarasa b. 1815 would have been a first cousin to Clarasa b. 1798, and in the middle of the 8 children born to Neeltje and her husband Henrick Bastiaanse. Clarasa or Claara isn't a name I can find among those I've entered otherwise in either side of the family, which is what makes me curious about this Clarasa.

Richard, I've got yet a third Harmannus as the best probability, according to Lorine some years back. He was bp. 23 Feb 1777. Lorine got the name, I believe, from Pearson, and thought he was the best choice because his parents were Antonie Van Slyke and Claara. Lorine didn't give me their dates, or this Claara's last name, and I admit I haven't gone thru your web site or the new Van Slyke book, to check out any of this. Lorine based her guess on this guy's mother's name, and the possibility that Neeltje, or Harmannus, named the baby following the naming rules. Of course, that all depends on whether the pregnancy was consensual or not. Who knows whether she'd have done that if he'd raped her. This Harmanus married Anetje (Nancy) Haverly 28 Oct, 1798, between the birth of Neetlje's baby and her baptism. So, supposing Neeltje wanted the baby and thought naming her after the grandmother would influence Harmannus to marry her, she was wrong. I'd be interested in your take on this Harmannus and the reasoning.

Mary, Thank you--I didn't see this before I asked for it again. Let me make sure I follow the whole thing. baptism Dec. 9 1798 Harmannus Van Slyke (name as father) {this is the place where in the original his name was upside down, indicating an illegitimate birth, I was originally told}. Is the 8480 the number Kelly gave to the baptism in his listing? DOB is Oct. 6. I didn't remember whether the baby's last name showed up, so that's good to know too. Neeltje Schermerhorn (Schermerhoorn) is the mother. So the sponsors must be Evert Schermerhoorn and Elizabeth Schermerhoorn. I've learned not to assume that means a married couple, and at the time I didn't know who either was. Now I know that an Elizabeth was Neeltje's sister, and she married an Evart Schermerhorn. The family, like many early settlers, was very inbred--they went back to 1636 in NY, and Neeltje herself was descended from two of Jacob Janse's sons. So it would make a lot of sense to have her sister and her husband as sponsors, especially with an out of wedlock child, when the father married someone else between the birth and the baptism. I'm very grateful for the information.

Robert, Thank you for all those links. However, Claara's baptism isn't among the Schenectady baptisms listed. So I still would like to ask someone who has access to Kelly to look her up for me. Claara is the daughter of Neeltje (or other spellings) Schermerhorn and Harmannus Van Slyke. I am interested in who the witnesses are. And Kelly's number.

Can someone please check for me a baptismal record in the Schenectady DRC, 9 Dec. 1798, for Claara, child of Neeltje Schermerhorn and Harmannus Van Slyke. The father's name is upside down. I hadn't known, until told, that this meant an illegitimate birth. What I had was Neeltje's own New Testament, where she listed her children. Claara is listed there as her first, without a last name or a father, unlike her later children. A number of years ago, someone on this list got this record for me from Kelly. I was a newbie, and I didn’t write down the number from Kelly, or the names of the sponsors. I do remember that at the time I didn’t recognize the names; now that I’ve done more research and have more of Neeltje’s relatives, they may be more meaningful. And now I know the importance of having Kelly’s number, just for future reference. I've got all the children from her marriage to Hendrick Bastiaanse accounted for, Kelly's numbers, sponsors and all, so I just need Claara's. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Thanks, Doris Waggoner ____________________________________________________________ Obama Urges Homeowners to Refinance If you owe under $729k you probably qualify for Obama's Refi Program http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4d3622c62a3cbc540a5st03vuc
